Since December 2023, the option to pay via Sentoo has been introduced at the Tax Receiver Curaçao. One of the main advantages of paying with Sentoo is the fast and efficient processing of payments with the correct information. All necessary details, such as the payment reference and the amount, are pre-filled out and displayed for the payer.

The Tax Department of Aruba recently announced that, beginning with the 2023 fiscal year, profit tax returns have to be prepared and submitted through each taxpayer’s dedicated BOi online portal.

Starting in May 2024, the process for being taxed as a Curaçao Investment Company (CIC) or a Special Purpose Asset (SPA) has been updated. Instead of submitting a request to the Tax Inspector for CIC or SPA designation, entities must now elect to be treated as a CIC or SPA annually in their profit tax return.

Annually, Baker Tilly publishes a helpful checklist designed to streamline the preparation of your personal income tax return.  This carefully designed checklist provides an overview of the information and documents you need to prepare for your personal income tax return.
